Sure, that's correct. But it also stands to reason that today's fastest thing will be a viable computer for a longer period of time than today's modest computer, which will be viable for longer than today's mediocre machine. That being said I usually by the "modest" computer available when I purchase a computer but secretly lust after the "fast" computer. :) My current machine is a 24" iMac from roughly mid-2009. Still more than fast enough for what I throw at it.

Hey Your memory from other world computing upgraded to 16 gigs for a lil over 200 bucks. I have a late 2010 21.5 Imac and it works great. And for the virus people. I have been using macs for 25 years now and have not had one Single virus. and only one blue screen ;). I dont use Apple products because they are pretty and trendy. I use it because it fits my needs and does everything I ask without catching a cold or dying. The new I macs look promising especially with the 2 gigs of video ram on the 27 incher!

I'm seriously thinking of jumping the fence to an iMac. I use a MacBook Pro at school & really like it! My Dell laptop caught a virus so I'm looking for something new/better! Pretty sure it's (the Dell) trashed!

I have the MacPro and I love it. I like the iMac, but feel that the Mac Pro is more customizable (multiple drives, lots of Ram, etc.). One last thing. I can run two monitors.

My 512ke is yet to die. It's mouse, not so much.

My boss has the iMac with another monitor. Not sure how it's all connected, but he's a techie & knows what he's doing! I'm sure one monitor will be enough for me.

Probably in about 3 weeks, but Apple never lets you know until it is happening.
